Disrespecting The Lobster At Dynasty

Dynasty is unlike any restaurant you will find in the western world. It’s as over the top as you can get. Dynasty calls their restaurants (the city has three of them) hotels because they look and feel more like a 5-star hotel than a restaurant.

The restaurant is made from miles of imported marble and a lot of gold. The place caters to Shanghai’s new rich, government officials with expense accounts and foreigners wishing to experience a restaurant that is beyond anything they can get back home. The Dynasty we went to had four floors. All the dining rooms are private except for the open room on the top floor.

The prices at Dynasty is actually not that bad. That is, it’s not that bad as long you as stay away from the dish that I had – the live Australian lobster. The lobster at Dynasty accounted for 1,114RMB of our 1,282RMB dinner bill. Can you see why I disrespected him?

No doubt you had live seafood before. However, this is taking it to a whole other level. If you belong to the Save The Lobster Society, don’t watch the video.

Lobster sashimi is positively divine. I tried it a few years back at Dai Masu (Cambie and Broadway, Vancouver), but that location is now closed down. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as incredibly fresh seafood.

Yeah, I can see why you disrespected the lobster at Dynasty! I love seafood, but I have never had lobster. It’s one of those dishes that I have always wanted to try, and have absolutely no idea how you tackle!

Man I think that was disgusting, if it moves then still not food for me. It looks to me like eating some kind of roach! I had never like the sea food and know even less. If it is not tuna fish taken from the can I will not eat it.

You’ve only had canned tuna? You need to get out more. It may be a bit of a shocker at first, but most people come to love sushi and sashimi if they give it a chance. A nice way to ease your way into it is to try tuna tataki or ahi tuna, since that is seared on the outside first.

If it’s in a can, it gets fed to dogs and cats. Seriously. You’re missing out on a LOT of things if you can only see as far as a tin of tuna. Time to throw away the can opener and experience everything the sea has to offer.

I think Monkey Brain is a “Flip” thing. I saw some documentary where you can still get it, but they take you into the middle of the jungle and they have picnic tables with holes cut into them for the head. Crazy.
